podcast no 23 - Kia Kaha!
Click here to play (or right-click, save as ... to download)
Kia Kaha is the nearest Maori equivalent to "rock on". All today's music is from New Zealand, starting with a haka performed by the All Blacks, New Zealand's fearsome rugby team. And I forgot to say that amongst Richard's prize possessions are signed photos of Tana and Mike Umaga.
Many thanks to Benjamin from Venture Electric for helping me find the bands for this podcast. Buy his CD! - No, buy all today's artists CDs!
So, the first song was Realise by Venture Electric. Benjamin says it's his favourite on the album. I can see why, although I think Cash (podcast no 12 and 13) is a fine song too.
If you like music that is industrial but with melodic vocals. look no further than Jordan Reyne. I played Jordan's song Karlsruhe. I meant to tell the story of when I was in Karlsruhe in 1978. I was hitching round Europe. I was in Karlsruhe, climbing out of the cab of a lorry, rucksack on my back. I fell backwards, from about 7 feet up. The lorry driver ran round, and found me flat on my back on the pavement, cracked up with laughter.
Blain Hosford then gave us Payload. Benjamin says Blain used to be with Autumn Stone. Well, he's making good music on his own.
Brett Adams and Dianne Swann are The Bads. And they're not bad: just listen to Bit by Bit. Superb.
And another great track to end the podcast: Four Feet by the enigmatic Punches.
Equally enigmatic was the visitor who provided the website of the week, the BBC Doctor Who site. Now, where was Richard?
Today's soundbed music was by Cagey House and Torchomatic. The title music is by Tragic Shellsuit Disaster.

By weird coincidence, the bus was just going by Murrayfield when the haka was playing. Spooky...
There was one bit of the show that had me guffaw suddenly and unexpectedly and frighten my fellow passengers:
Gabor: "And what will we find on this site ?"
Elvis (with his trademark drawl): "Stuff."
Genius !
